PFT Support Group: One Step Closer

BEFORE and AFTER (MY body has got curves now and less flabs! Boohyeah! And my face got a bit thinner too.)

Before I go on with my Baler trip this weekend, let me post my second PFT blog entry. A month ago, I started going to the gym and on a diet. I vowed to really do it this time for my own health's sake. Gaah! I can't seem to think of anything else to say in my introduction. I'm just so excited for my Baler trip so please forgive me. Anyway, my one month journey to losing weight has taught me some things and I've seen how I've also made some mistakes in my diet just because I was afraid of gaining a pound after losing it.May 09, 2012: 194 lbs.

June 08, 2012: 183 lbs.

Well, I know it's not really that big of a deal. I mean, losing 11 lbs in one month is kind of slow. Actually, I've already lost a total of 15 lbs.; but I've noticed that it's because my diet was getting unhealthy and I should discontinue the habit of almost starving myself. Yep, I can't believe that I went that far. You see, I do eat rice and something with protein in the morning but I only eat oat and fiber enriched crackers for lunch and just water in the evening. Yes, it made me lose weight like crazy since I also work out in the evening (5 times a week). But it also made me weaker.

So, I changed my diet. I would be eating small amount of food, bread or crackers but will do it frequently. I won't dare try to starve myself again because it's making me feel uneasy. I see my mistake now. It was just so overwhelming once you start losing pounds. It's like you'd be obsessed to drop a lot of 'em quickly.

So my new trend would still be to work out 5 times a week for Aero-Taebo, Saturday and Sunday will be my cheat days; but would still keep in mind to eat in moderation. I will be doing extra cardio workout at least 2 times a week just to get the guilt off of my 2-day cheat days. As one of my closest office friend told me, "Don't deprive yourself. It'll only make you crave for more and you'll end up eating more afterwards."

First of all, I want to thank my fellow PFT members. You can view the blog posts of the other girls by clicking >> http://scatterbrainadventures.blogspot.com/p/project-fit-and-toned-support-group.html. Also, my parents for encouraging and coping up with me during the whole weight-loss project of mine, the people I've met at the gym and my friends who keep telling me, "wow, pumayat ka na talaga!" Believe me, it's very encouraging.

My old slacks fit me now; but some of my clothes doesn't look good on me anymore 'cos they're a bit loose now. I was supposed to do a blog sale for my clothes; but after they started fitting me again, I've had second thoughts. LOL. Anyway, let's strive for a HEALTHIER US. I've been OA (Over Acting) in my first few weeks but I've learned my lesson now.

Oh, BTW, please forgive me if I try the PhP150.00 eat all you can at Gerry Shan in Baler. It's too tempting to resist. You don't get to always go to Baler, eh? But will try to convince the people I'm with to not go there. I actually brought Century Tuna and wheat bread. Haha!
